![]() With the Diamond Rio player in 1998 and the Apple iPod in 2001, the mass market began to eschew physical media in favor of more convenient file-based systems. The biggest competition for MiniDisc came from the emergence of MP3 players. Initially, Sony believed that it would take around a decade for CD-R prices to become affordable – the cost of a typical blank CD-R disc was around $12 in 1994 – but CD-R prices fell much more rapidly than envisioned, to the point where CD-R blanks sank below $1 per disc by the late 1990s, compared to at least $2 for the cheapest 80-minute MiniDisc blanks. ![]() MiniDisc technology was faced with new competition from the recordable compact disc ( CD-R) when it became more affordable to consumers beginning around 1996. Additionally, home MiniDisc decks were less widely available, with most consumers instead connecting a portable MD device to the hi-fi system in order to record. The initial high cost of equipment and blank media was also a factor. The initial low uptake of MiniDisc was attributed to the small number of pre-recorded albums available on MD as relatively few record labels embraced the format. Since then, recordable CDs, flash memory and HDD and solid-state-based digital audio players such as iPods have become increasingly popular as playback devices. It was very popular in Japan and parts of Asia, and relatively so in Europe during the 1990s and into the 00's, but did not enjoy comparable sales success in other markets. However, non-Sony machines were not widely available in North America, and companies such as Technics and Radio Shack tended to promote DCC instead.ĭespite having a loyal customer base largely of musicians and audio enthusiasts, the MiniDisc met with only limited success in the United States. Sony licensed MD technology to other manufacturers, with JVC, Sharp, Pioneer, Panasonic and others producing their own MD products. This created marketing confusion very similar to the videocassette format war of the late 1970s and early 1980s. By the time Sony came up with the MiniDisc in late 1992, Philips had introduced a competing system, DCC, on a magnetic tape cassette. Relegating DAT to professional use, Sony set to work to come up with a simpler, more economical digital home format. dollar had fallen so far against the yen that the introductory DAT machine Sony had intended to market for about $400 in the late 1980s now had to retail for $800 or even $1,000 to break even, putting it out of reach of most users. Because of technical delays, the DAT was not launched until 1989, and by then the U.S. Sony had originally intended the Digital Audio Tape (DAT) to be the dominant home digital audio recording format, replacing the analog cassette. Sony's MiniDisc was one of two rival digital systems, both introduced in 1992, that were targeted as replacements for the Philips Compact Cassette analog audio tape system: the other was the Digital Compact Cassette (DCC), created by Philips and Matsushita (now Panasonic). It took almost 10 years, however, before their idea was commercialized. In 1983, just a year after the introduction of the Compact Disc, Kees Schouhamer Immink and Joseph Braat presented the first experiments with erasable magneto-optical Compact Discs during the 73rd AES Convention in Eindhoven. ![]() Sony has ceased development of MD devices, with the last of the players sold by March 2013. īy March 2011 Sony had sold 22 million MD players. ![]() MiniDiscs were very popular in Japan and found moderate success in Europe although it was designed to be the successor of the cassette tape, it did not manage to mass replace it globally. Its successor, Hi-MD, would later introduce the option of linear PCM digital recording to meet audio quality comparable to that of a compact disc. The music format was based on ATRAC audio data compression, Sony's own proprietary compression code. Sony announced the MiniDisc in September 1992 and released it in November of that year for sale in Japan and in December in Europe, North America, and other countries. MiniDisc ( MD) is an erasable magneto-optical disc-based data storage format offering a capacity of 60, 74, and later, 80 minutes of digitized audio. The Sony MZ1, the first MiniDisc player, released in 1992.

![]() The names of several British pubs today suggest past affiliations with Odd Fellows (or Oddfellows). Oddfellows Arms, Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. ![]() The oldest surviving record of an Odd Fellow lodge however, can be traced back to the minutes of meeting at Lodge no.9 in England circa 1748 (no.9 implying that there would have been at least 8 others before it). The founders of the first American lodge in 1806 were three boat builders, a comedian, and a vocalist – arguably an usual mix of niche professions. ![]() It’s been suggested that founding members might have been branded as odd due to the apparent strangeness of following noble values such as fraternalism, benevolence and charity.Īnother theory proposes that the order was formed by individuals who had “odd” careers or exercised unusual trades, and naturally gravitated towards each other socially and professionally, likely evolving from Medieval guilds to form an “odd fellowship”. In the 18th century, with the beginning of industrialization, it was indeed considered “odd” to commit oneself to the principals of charity and communal welfare. Independent Order of the Odd Fellows (IOOF) Temple, 6-26 7th St., San Francisco, CA © Sanfranman59 But not so long ago, such noble values were rare to come by… One of its most prominent symbols known as the “Triple Links” alludes to its motto, “Friendship, Love and Truth” – three words that aren’t hard to get behind in modern civil society. For as long as records show, this has been an organisation solely aimed towards charity and helping the less fortunate. To understand what the “odd” in Odd fellows really means, we need to start with the order’s purpose. ![]() The Odd Fellows are one of the earliest and oldest fraternal societies, but the historical details of its foundations went strangely undocumented before the 18th century, creating some uncertainty about its name and origins. So in the interest of uncovering life’s little oddities, here’s what I could dig up on the secret society with a name so alluring, you might just be wondering: would I be odd enough for the Order of the Odd Fellows? The order’s vehement use of esoteric symbolism and highly secretive initiation rituals (involving human skeletons) would no doubt send masonic conspiracy-theorists on an epic tangent. Barnum, Charles Lindbergh, Wyatt Earp and Al Pinkerton were all members, as well as heads of state as high up as Winston Churchill and Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt. Some of history’s most notable eccentrics are counted among its past ranks: Charlie Chaplin, P.T. The Independent Order of the Odd Fellows – a secret society for … odd people? Why had I never heard of it? Never one to resist the pull of a promising rabbit hole, I would soon discover that the international fraternity I’d accidentally stumbled upon had existed for centuries, possibly longer, and at one point during America’s “Golden Age of Fraternalism”, grew larger than the Freemasons. It’s a name that had me instantly transfixed, like something Wes Anderson had dreamt up for his next film. ![]() Long-term effects of 2 energy-restricted diets differing in glycemic load on dietary adherence, body composition, and metabolism in CALERIE: a 1-y randomized controlled trial. Weight loss diet studies: we need help not hype. Differing effects of high-fat or high-carbohydrate meals on food hedonics in overweight and obese individuals.

Obesity 26, 11–13 (2018). This study was registered on as NCT03878108. Therefore, the predictions of the carbohydrate–insulin model were inconsistent with our observations. We found that the low-fat diet led to 689 ± 73 kcal d −1 less energy intake than the low-carbohydrate diet over 2 weeks ( P < 0.0001) and 544 ± 68 kcal d −1 less over the final week ( P < 0.0001). ![]() The primary outcomes compared mean daily ad libitum energy intake between each 2-week diet period as well as between the final week of each diet. One participant withdrew due to hypoglycemia during the low-carbohydrate diet. To test this hypothesis, 20 adults aged 29.9 ± 1.4 (mean ± s.e.m.) years with body mass index of 27.8 ± 1.3 kg m −2 were admitted as inpatients to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center and randomized to consume ad libitum either a minimally processed, plant-based, low-fat diet (10.3% fat, 75.2% carbohydrate) with high glycemic load (85 g 1,000 kcal −1) or a minimally processed, animal-based, ketogenic, low-carbohydrate diet (75.8% fat, 10.0% carbohydrate) with low glycemic load (6 g 1,000 kcal −1) for 2 weeks followed immediately by the alternate diet for 2 weeks. Thus, low-carbohydrate diets are predicted to reduce ad libitum energy intake as compared to low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets. The carbohydrate–insulin model of obesity posits that high-carbohydrate diets lead to excess insulin secretion, thereby promoting fat accumulation and increasing energy intake. Nature Medicine volume 27, pages 344–353 ( 2021) Cite this article But there is considerably less consensus on the role of obesity on the risk for low muscle mass or muscle density,” said lead author Ching-Ti Liu of the Boston University School of Public Health, and senior author Douglas Kiel, HMS professor of medicine and director of the Musculoskeletal Research Center at Hebrew SeniorLife.Effect of a plant-based, low-fat diet versus an animal-based, ketogenic diet on ad libitum energy intake “Most obesity research has focused on metabolic and cardiovascular outcomes such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and osteoarthritis. This research is the first large, longitudinal study of the association between changes in VAT and muscle density. According to the study, individuals with the greatest 6-year accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT), found in the abdomen, had significantly lower muscle density. Low muscle density means that the muscle has more fat in it, which can lead to less effective muscle function that in turn may lead to more falls.

Multiple mechanisms can play a role in any given situation, and these mechanisms are often interrelated. This, in turn, can make people more likely to believe that those statements are true. Essentially, rhyming can make people more likely to repeat statements, for example because those statements are more catchy and appealing, which can lead people to become more familiar with those statements, through increased exposure to them. Rhyming can increase the familiarity of statements.This ties into the concepts of the fluency heuristic and the availability heuristic, which make people more likely to rely on information that is easy for them to process and bring to mind. Essentially, rhyming can make statements easier for people to process, which can also make people more likely to believe them, and can make people assign more value to the information that they contain. Rhyming can improve the fluency of statements.(The name of this heuristic is a reference to a famous line written by poet John Keats: “Beauty is truth, truth beauty”, in his poem “ Ode on a Grecian Urn“.) This is associated with the Keats heuristic, which is a mental shortcut that leads people to base their judgment of the truthfulness or accuracy of a statement on its aesthetic qualities. Essentially, rhyming can make statements sound more beautiful to people, which can make people more likely to believe those statements. Rhyming can improve the aesthetics of statements.The rhyme-as-reason effect can be attributed to several connected cognitive mechanisms: Psychology and causes of the rhyme-as-reason effect Similarly, rhyming is often used in advertising, since slogans that contain rhymes are generally perceived as more trustworthy convincing, likable, original, and memorable than slogans that don’t contain a rhyme. Simpson, whose lawyer (Johnnie Cochran) told members of the jury “if it doesn’t fit, you must acquit”, in reference to the gloves allegedly used by Simpson during a murder. For example, rhyming was used as part of a rhetorical legal technique in the infamous trial of O. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning.”įurthermore, the influence of the rhyme-as-reason effect can be observed in many other types of contexts. In addition, the benefits of the rhyme-as-reason effect also mean that many other traditional aphorisms contain rhymes.

The rhyme-as-reason effect is important to understand, since you can use it to craft messages that are more persuasive, and since accounting for its use by others can help you assess information in a more rational way. These effects can apply to various types of statements, such as aphorisms, educational mnemonics devices, and advertising slogans. ![]() For example, people generally perceive the statement “woes unite foes” as more accurate than the statements “woes unite enemies” and “misfortunes unite foes”- even though they all mean roughly the same thing-because only the first statement contains a rhyme (i.e., the words “woes” and “foes” end with the same sound).įurthermore, rhyming can also influence people in associated ways beyond making them trust statements, for example by making them more likely to like, remember, and repeat statements. The rhyme-as-reason effect is a cognitive bias that makes people more likely to believe statements that contain a rhyme, compared to statements that don’t. ![]() ![]() The WWVB time signal will easily penetrate Masonry and wood-framed buildings. Windows facing Colorado providing the best signal. Select a location to place your radio controlled clock where it will be at least six feet away from a TV, computer, air conditioner or other household electrical appliances. ![]() If the time is manually set the clock will continue to periodically search for a signal and automatically reset the hands when the signal is received. If a signal is not receivable it will fast-forward the hands to the 4, 8, or 12 o’clock position and search for WWVB each hour until a signal is received. Within five minutes the clock will either receive the WWVB signal and set itself to the exact time, or it will determine that the signal is not receivable at its current location and time of day. For the initial setting, it is recommended to stand the clock in an upright position near a window. When the battery is installed the second hand will advance eight seconds (two seconds per step x four steps). Your Atomic clock will still continue to look for the signal and start adjusting itself automatically. Your clock is now an accurate quartz clock until it will find the signal. Hold until you reach the correct time and then release. Simply insert the battery, press your time zone and then press the flap just above the left side of the battery. Your clock will no longer observe DST.Ītomic Clocks may also be set manually and be very accurate. After setting your clock press the small button labeled "DST" located just above and between the ET and CT Time Zone buttons on the back of the movement. If you live in Indiana or Arizona you will wish to disable the DST function. For time zones outside of PT, MT, CT or ET you must manually set the time using the Manual Time set button on the back of the movement. Your clock can only set itself to one of the four time zones stated above. If multiple buttons are pressed the clock will set to the time zone selected last. If no time zone is selected the clock will default to Pacific Time. Another time zone can be selected during or after the clock has set itself. The time zone buttons may be pressed any time after installing the batteries. ![]() Select your time zone by pressing one of the four time zone buttons PT-Pacific Time, MT-Mountain Time, CT-Central Time, ET-Eastern Time. Due to the nature of long wave radio signals it is normally not possible to receive a signal during the day so it is best to install the battery late in the evening. To set up your clock simply install one fresh AA, LR6 ALKALINE battery. The changeover from standard time to daylight savings time, and vice versa, takes place automatically with the same precision. Through the radio signals, our radio controlled clocks always keep precise time. A microprocessor activates the receiver and processes the time signal from Fort Collins overnight. The built in antenna system will receive the WWVB signal anywhere in North America within 2000 miles of Fort Collins where long-wave radio reception is undisturbed. Radio waves at these low frequencies use the earth and the ionosphere as a wave-guide and follow the curvature of the earth for long distances. This atomic clock regulates the WWVB radio transmitter located in Fort Collins, Colorado, where the exact time signal is continuously broadcast throughout the United States at 60 kHz to take advantage of stable long wave radio paths found in that frequency range. These physicists have created an international standard, measuring a second as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cesium 133 atom in a vacuum. A team of atomic physicists continually measures every second of every day to an accuracy of ten billionths of a second per day. Today, time is precisely measured in the United States by the most accurate clock in North America, the Atomic Clock of the US National Institute of Standards and Technology, Time and Frequency Division in Boulder, Colorado. Since the beginning of time, man has been fascinated with the measurement of time and has devised more accurate machines to trap and measure time. Nothing is more precisely measured than time!Īnd nothing keeps track of time more precisely and trouble free than our radio controlled clocks. THAT’S IT! During the night your clock will automatically set itself.įor a better understanding of how and why your clock works please continue reading.

When there are a lot of investors shorting the same stock, there’s a chance that many of them will end up buying that stock back at the same time. Either way, it could cause some serious headaches for anyone short selling that stock. Some short squeezes last for a few days, and others could last for several months. Basically, a short squeeze is when short selling backfires. What Is a Short Squeeze?Ī short squeeze happens when the price of a heavily shorted stock unexpectedly shoots up in price. Shorting a stock just isn’t worth the risk.Īnd that brings us to. you could be facing some devastating losses. If you’re right, you can make some money. You’re not really investing, you’re gambling. The bottom line is: Short selling is extremely risky-riskier than walking through a den of sleeping lions with your pockets full of beef jerky. Market chaos, inflation, your future-work with a pro to navigate this stuff. But what if the price soared to $150 instead? Then you would end up with a $50 loss. If the price drops to $75 a few weeks later and you decide to buy back that stock at that price, you would make a $25 profit. Problem: If the stock price goes up instead of down, you’ll lose money because you’ll have to buy it back for more than you sold it for.įor example, let’s say you want to “short” a stock and sell it when it’s worth $100. ![]() When you return the stock to the broker, you get to keep the difference of the purchase as a profit (minus fees and interest). If everything goes according to plan, the price of the stock tumbles down and you buy those shares back at a cheaper price than what you sold them for.The catch is that you have to buy those shares back eventually and return them to the broker. Then, you sell those shares on the stock market. First, you need to borrow the shares of a stock you want to bet against from a broker. ![]() In a nutshell, here’s how short selling works: Basically, they make money when the price of that stock goes down, but lose money if the price goes up. Here’s a quick refresher on short selling: When someone “shorts” a stock, that means they’re betting against it. Understanding a Short Squeezeīefore we dive deeper into short squeezes, we need to talk about short selling (that’s where the “short” in short squeeze comes from). ![]() 1īut how exactly do short squeezes work? And is there a way to spot one before it actually happens? Let’s take a closer look. Netflix is even planning to make a movie about the GameStop stocks saga (which we’ll talk about a little later). Don’t forget, institutions must file with the SEC soon after acquiring even 5% of a company.A short squeeze (not to be confused with a “quick hug”) is an investing phenomenon that happens when the price of a stock that everyone seems to be betting against suddenly shoots up faster than a bottle rocket on the 4th of July.įrom GameStop to AMC, short squeezes can potentially turn Wall Street upside down and capture the imaginations of many investors. There were serious legal issues surrounding a private company sneakily accumulating so much of a public company. They didn’t do this out of the goodness of their hearts. Porsche would later agree to sell up to 5% on the open market to return some liquidity to short sellers. It sent the share price vertical although not for long. This caused what is now referred to as an infinity squeeze. Except 13% of the company was sold short so they were screwed. This only left about 5-6% of shares available on the open market for shorts sellers to cover with. Another roughly 20% was owned by the German state of Lower Saxony. Using cash and derivatives, Porsche managed to acquire a 75% stake in Volkswagen. The price of VW shares soared, leading to significant losses for short sellers. This news caused a short squeeze in VW shares, as short sellers rushed to buy back their positions in order to avoid further losses.
